INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18330245 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an information processing apparatus that can reduce operation noise in printing when an audio input device, like a microphone, is being used by the apparatus. Here are the key points:

  • The information processing apparatus can transmit print jobs to a printing apparatus.
  • If the audio input device is in use, the information processing apparatus instructs the printing apparatus to operate in a silent mode.
  • The silent mode reduces the operation noise that occurs during printing.

Potential Applications

  • Offices and workspaces where printing and audio recording occur simultaneously.
  • Libraries or quiet environments where noise reduction is important.
  • Any situation where printing noise may interfere with audio recordings or conversations.

Problems Solved

  • Printing noise can be disruptive in environments where audio recording or conversations are taking place.
  • The patent addresses the issue by automatically instructing the printing apparatus to operate in a silent mode when an audio input device is in use.

Benefits

  • Reduction of operation noise during printing, leading to a quieter environment.
  • Improved audio recording quality and reduced interference from printing noise.
  • Enhanced user experience by minimizing disruptions caused by printing noise.


Original Abstract Submitted

An information processing apparatus instructs, if an audio input device such as a microphone is in use by the information processing apparatus, a printing apparatus to which a print job is transmitted to operate in a silent mode to reduce operation noise occurring in printing.
